Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many...
I've searched bu apparently there is no Friday club for this very difficult offering by Sabre. I just got 17acr so I've finally finished. Phew! One of the hardest of the year, for sure. Thanks Sabre!...
Oh but this was tough. Has Artix managed to silence the Friday Club? Indeed we struggled but what a cunningly constructed grid and convincing finale. Many thanks, Artix for yet another masterpiece of...
How sad to see the last puzzle by Radix. Of course he treats us to a range of devices. We have just found the source with a great sigh of relief but still have lots of systematic calculation to...
I've searched using several keywords but can't find another thread so ... This was a rewarding puzzle: once the penny drops you think, "yes, of course; why didn't I spot that earlier?" Many thanks...
Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...
What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....
Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...
A fairly easy solve in contrast to the rather complicated preamble. I haven't tried to work out the title yet!
Farewell Ruslan - you will be missed....
What a delight, on another theme about which I was previously ignorant. Would have been much tougher without the generosity of the setter. Particularly liked 33 down. Thanks Wan....
Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...
Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...
A very gentle but amusing romp through territory that was fortunately familiar to me. Liked the alternate letter device. Many thanks to a veteran setter, I believe. Leaves us all plenty of time to...
